UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JACOB T. WAINWRIGHT, OF HOMESTEAD, PENNSYLVANIA.

ROLLING-MILL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 324,282, dated August I1, 1885.

' Application filed May 29,1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JACOB T. WVAINWRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Homestead, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Arrangement of Rolling-Mill Machinery; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

My invention consists in combining two or more shears to a rolling-mill by means of a system of rollers. These shears may be placed at one end of the mill; but I prefer to have them at opposite ends, as shown in Figurel of the drawings, and the rolling-mill and rollertables may be of any of the well-known types of same; but I prefer to use atwo-high reversing mill, as hereinafter described.

In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a plan view of a set of rolls, together with parallel rollers placed at both sides to support the ingot and convey the same when finished to the shears. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, partly shown in section.

To put my invention into practice with rolls A, such as are used in rolling heavy ingots of steel or iron, and connected with a reversing engine, I construct on either side of the rolls A a table, B 0, consisting of parallel rollers a, geared together and supported in a frame, I), which is used for moving the ingot or bar to and from the rolls A. The rollers a are of a greater length than the rolls A, which admits of the ingot or bar being moved to correspond to the grooves c in the rolls A. At each end of the tables B O, I place another, ED, somewhat narrower, which leads to a pair of shears, G F, and provided with rollers e, geared together and mounted in suitable bearings on the frame f. To the rear of the shears G F is placed an adjustable measure, 9, against which the end of the bar rests preparatory to it being out.

The operation is asfollows: The ingot or bar of iron or steel is placed on the table .8, and is moved toward the rolls A by putting the rollers a in motion and passing through the groove 0 on the table 0 at the other side. The engine is now reversed, which revolves the rollers a in the opposite direction, and carries the ingot toward the rolls A. This operation is repeated until the baris reduced to the proper gage, and is moved to the table B, which carries it to the shears F, and is cut into any desired length, or in a similar manner the metal may be sheared in the opposite shears,G.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a' rollingmill and two or more shears with rollers connecting said mill and shears, as set forth.

2. The hereindescribed apparatus, consisting of a rolling-mill, rollers extending out from it in opposite directions, and a shear at each outer end of the said lines of rollers.
